Test Drive Meme 013

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab some samples and start having fun!

1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!

3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Training Gym

Fight club have finally gotten a gym to train in. Train carriages make strange gyms, long narrow spaces. But this has mats, balance beams, climbing apparatus. Pads and training dummies for punching. It also has large blocks that look a little like what you might find in a children's play centre but can be used to make obstacle courses or provide cover in training exercises.

Set up a course, practice fighting or try and learn how to throw a punch! There are plenty who will help, people who take training super seriously and let's face it, people who want to ambush others from behind oversized foam blocks.

Games

For those for whom fighting is not an idea of fun, or those wanting more relaxation, the games carriage has a whole collection of different games. Board games, card games, dice games. There are many games about trains but they aren't the only type.

There are low tables in the carriage to set a game up on and plenty of beanbags and cushions to sit on. Grab a game, grab a friend or a complete stranger and get playing!

Water Maze

The latest mission has taken the voidtreckers to an underwater maze. They have been given wet suits, helmets and breathing apparatus- lightweight boxes that strap to their back, connect to their helmet and filter air from the water. A powerful and dangerous artifact has been stolen and the race is on to get it back before it is used for ill.

Team One

Plenty of monsters and foes have been sent to try and retrieve the item. Giant crabs, strange eels. Even people with fish tails and the ability to breathe underwater. All are dangerous foes and fighting underwater is difficult.

But team one are the vanguard, keeping the monster levels low to allow team two to push on through the maze.

Team Two

Hopefully team one will deal with the monsters, but the odd one might sneak through. Team two's main job is to solve the maze, because the thief is in the centre in order to perform his ritual.

It's a race against time, the maze is made of coral and walls of seaweed that are impossible to cut through. Solving it requires a quick mind and some determined swimming.

Team Three

For those not wishing to brave the water, or those whose skills lie more in helping others. The island where the artefact was stolen from needs help. The temple was ransacked and some of the islanders were injured. Help them fix their homes, put the temple back to rights, tend to the injured.

Cleaning the temple is a big job, but hopefully by the time the artefact has been retrieved it will be able to be restored to it's rightful place.

She nods a bit, a spark flowing from her fingers to the cylinder, a blue flame coming out from it to the kettle.

"It is probably better that way. Mastery of a single element is doable by anyone who has the discipline, dealing with 4, 5, or 6.... That would take a prodigy, or more time than most people have. Oh, if you want, I found some tea here, it isn't anything special but it isn't as bitter as the bean juice most people seem to like to drink. That and I kind of find the art of making it helps me focus."

He flinches at the blue magic. It's not firebending, He can tell. But it is something. But he stops his forms, when she starts talking about the art of making tea.

He smiles just the tiniest bit. "My uncle always says that the concentration of making tea helps calm the dragon that we are as firebenders." He misses his uncle. "He's... somewhat of an expert on tea."

"When my sister and I joined the Aldore army..... I had to do most all of the cooking and such. I tried to make it back then, but it was basically hot leaf juice. Absolutely terrible sludge. The others in the unit made fun of how bad at it I was, but it was never malicious. After what the emperor did to us.... I figured I should learn to honor the ones that didn't make it."

She laughs a bit at that, but it is a horribly forced laugh.

"I found the peace in it helped me focus on my magical studies too."

"When we were in Ba Sing Se, a large city, Uncle started his own tea shop." He says, finding a place to sit near her. "It.. was a place of peace. I enjoyed it there." He admits, softly. He'd enjoyed it, right until Jet and then Azula had ruined everything. He sighs, watching the water steep. "I miss it sometimes."

[grannyofthebolt]

"By the tone in your voice, I'm guessing you can't go back. I understand that."

She starts separating leaves into a small sack, "After the war I spent years in a place called Mysidia. Studied more magic, helped a few others with it. It was nice, dull, but nice. I guess times like that are never meant to last."

She stares into the leaves for a minute then shakes her head, "So you learn any tea making from your uncle? Or just hang around the shop?"
